Lyrics Black Dog - Shields

Black Dog

The skin around my bones starts to unravel
And I live exposed.
I’ve become so cold
The air inside my lungs starts to go stale as I decompose
I am falling apart, I am falling apart
I am broken;
dysfunctional, beyond repair
With my dark companion, crippled by his stare
I am falling apart
This beast is all I have;
meet my loathsome friend
Leave us be.
I’m not getting any better
This beast is all I have;
meet my loyal foe
Leave us be.
I’m not getting any better
Black dog
It feels like my last day alive was long ago
A black dog follows me where ever I go
Living this life I’d rather die
I’m done living this life;
I’d rather die
I’m done being hounded by a black dog
Feels like my last day alive;
Feels like I shouldn’t keep breathing
